Keir Starmer on Thursday announced a new 'national violent disorder unit' in a crackdown on rioters after the Southport stabbings. The Prime Minister called the Southport attack that left three girls dead "so inexplicably vile that fear is an understandable reaction".But he condemned rioters who have since taken to the streets across the country.
On Tuesday night, an angry mob took to the streets of Southport after a vigil to remember victims of the mass stabbing at the workshop attended by 25 children.False claims online that the suspect was an asylum seeker who had arrived in the UK by boat had sparked the initial riot, despite pleas from the mother of one of the victims for calm.The three girls killed in the Southport stabbings were previously named as Bebe King, six; Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven; and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine.
